Perú - Anti-union practices to crush union at AB InBev

According to the Sindicato Nacional de Obreros de UCP Backus y Johnston, the new owner of the Unión de Cervecerías Peruanas Backus y Johnston S.A.A, beverage and brewing multinational AB InBev, launched a fierce anti-union offensive seeking to implement a plan to outsource several of the company’s operations and thus put an end to the workers’ organisation. During the first week of August 2017, the company suspended the union’s general secretary, Julio Eyzaguirre, press secretary, Jonathan Cruz, and workers’ rights secretary, Luis Damán for four days.
